The single most important factor supporting this view has been the alleged crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.

The background is the long-running controversy about the so-called MAJESTIC papers, documents apparently leaked to the UFO researcher William Moore in the 1980s, purporting to come from a super-secret US government committee of the 1950s which was handling the UFO issue at the time ...

In the Guardian of 12 June 2000 David Leigh had an important piece on the relationship between our secret servants and the media. At the core of this was his account of the revelation, via a libel suit in London, of an MI6 operation to plant disinformation in the Sunday Telegraph about the son of Colonel Gaddafi.
